Ye Yao was driven out of the Shen Family house with her head hanging low, covered in dust. She knew that this ti she had probably offended the entire Shen Family and from now on, visiting them would be even harder than reaching the heavens.
No, she couldn’t just let it go like this. It had not been easy for her to get close to Shen Zhe, and she couldn’t give up now. She was determined to marry into the Shen Family and enter high society.
But luckily, she was confident that she could win over Shen Zhe.
As long as Shen Zhe liked her, the Shen Family would eventually accept her.
Worst cos to worst, she’ll be pregnant before marriage. Once she’s carrying a child of the Shen Family, she didn’t believe they would refuse to let her through the door.
That wretched girl, Shen Weiyi, isn’t she living comfortably in the Shen Family ho too!
Shen Family.
As soon as Ye Yao left, Second Mrs. Shen turned her guns back on Shen Weiyi: "You knew it wasn’t your cousin who did it, so why didn’t you clarify with the police? How could you stand by and watch him get taken away by the police, locked up for so many days? Is your heart made of black, or what?"
Shen Weiyi looked at her calmly and said, "You shouldn’t be asking this question; you should be asking your son. He insisted on telling the police that he did it. There’s nothing I could do."
Second Mrs. Shen clenched her teeth: "How could you have no way to handle it? Just for this trivial matter, you let your own cousin get detained. I think you’re just heartless and cold-blooded. After all, you were raised outside the family. It’s true what they say; outsiders can never be part of the family."
Shen Weiyi said, "My father taught from a young age that if soone respects by a foot, I’ll respect them by a yard. If soone deceives by an inch, I’ll repay them by a foot. I treat others the way they treat . As for being heartless or cold-blooded, that depends on who I’m dealing with. When it cos to dealing with the shaless and the scoundrels, naturally, I have to be even more shaless and scoundrelly than they are."
"Who are you calling shaless and scoundrelly?" She didn’t think she was misunderstanding—the girl was cursing people again.
Shen Weiyi replied, "Whoever thinks it fits them is whom I’m referring to."
"I think this al would be unpleasant for everyone if I stay, so I’ll take my leave now," said Shen Weiyi before turning to walk away.
"You stop right there." Then they heard Mr. Shen call out to her, saying, "I have sothing to discuss with you. Co to my study."
Upon closing the door, Mr. Shen spoke gravely, "Your aunt is not entirely wrong. Shen Zhe is your cousin, and you did go a bit too far this ti."
"If you’ve called here to talk about this, I have nothing to say. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave." Since she had taken action, she didn’t feel she was wrong and certainly wouldn’t change her mind because of a few words from them.
If they just wanted to lecture her, there was really no need.
Mr. Shen’s brows furrowed with displeasure as he looked at her, "What kind of attitude is this? I am your elder. Is this how you speak to your elders?"
Shen Weiyi’s gaze fell, cold and detached.
These people always flaunted their elder status to pressure her, yet they never considered if they had ever fulfilled an elder’s responsibilities.
Even though she had long since lost any expectations of them, seeing them act this way still made her uncomfortable.
Seeing her silence, the displeasure in Mr. Shen’s eyes deepened. He continued with a stern face, "I heard that your father has transferred his shares of the company into your na?"
"Yes!" Shen Weiyi responded.
So, was this finally why they had called her back?
Mr. Shen continued with a stern face and a commanding tone, "You’re a girl, and sooner or later you will marry out. Since ancient tis, family businesses have been inherited by male heirs; there’s no precedent for a daughter to take it with her upon marriage. Besides, it would be inconvenient for a girl to manage the company in the future. You should transfer the shares of Shen Technology into the Shen Family’s na early on, so as not to ruin the hard work your father has put in over the years."
So, this was the true purpose for their summoning her back?
